The racial angle is doing us a massive disservice in this case because it is, as you say, otherwise fascinating. The cops are serving this warrant at an apartment because confronting these people in public ostensibly puts more innocent people in danger. Yet, it’s an apartment building, so there will be innocent lives at risk regardless. So that’s the play? Do you refuse to pursue criminals if they happen to live in an apartment? Do criminals respond by operating exclusively in apartments? At some point, don’t you have to blame the terrorists for setting up shop in the hospital? Even then, do we maybe expect our police to adhere to niggling little requirements like “being able to see what you’re shooting at”?
It really is the perfect case for a hard look at the way police handle these things. But instead, the national conversation is questioning the concept of codified legal systems.

...that apply to blacks. Everyone seems to be okay with it when it applies to whites, especially white men. There definitely wouldn't be rioting if Breonna Taylor were white. Hell, while Obama was in office Biden managed to get the country's colleges and universities to effectively declare men guilty until proven innocent if accused of sexual misconduct, and there weren't any riots about that. The country might even elect that man president, they certainly will if the very same people who are rioting about this alleged injustice have anything to say about it. So it's not about justice systems as a whole, it's just about having them apply to blacks.
This would normally be an interesting case. Is it his fault someone made him a gunner?

Tragic accident. But not sure why they thought they could get a murder charge.

Just happened the other day. Zero coverage, only found out about it because of a discord i hang out in.
Eleven fucking times. Hey BLM, you guys said you're against police brutality, where you at?
Duncan Lemp was the White Breonna Taylor, long before Taylor herself.
Nobody rioted.
If the codified legal system applied to whites, Kyle Rittenhouse would be free, and half of Seattle would be in jail.
